[GNC-dev] New price source

[Frank H. Ellenberger]

An excellent idea!

I reordered by time and relabeled some elemments of the list in commit
973a0bb:
"Average cost of purchases weighted by volume"
"Weighted average of all past currency transactions"
"Last up to report date"
"Closest to report date"
"Most recent"

Chris, I assume, the report date is included in your "pricedb-before"?

Regards
Frank
